New Harry

Their first obstacle was a boggart that revealed itself as a scene of horror for both young men. It was the broken body of Megan lying in a pool of blood. Her eyes were staring up at them without the normal sparkle. While it did affect them both momentarily, that quickly changed as Harry got pissed off. His new wand came out and an incendio was launched from it without a single word being uttered. The spectators grew quiet as a huge ball of flame rose above the top of the maze accompanied by a horrified scream.

Megan leaned over to her Mum and said "Something just pissed Harry off."

"How do you know? Is it the bond?"

"No, the explosion. He likes blowing things up with his wand."

"I'll warn your father and you young lady will be going on the potion tonight."

Back inside the maze, Cedric said "Um…Harry, you can't destroy a boggart like that. Fire spells won't hurt it. It's one of the rules we were taught in defense."

Harry was still looking at his wand in disbelief when he raised an eyebrow as the ashes that were once the boggart floated to the ground. "Rules smules. I'm the son of the only true Marauder and I make up my own rules. Cool wasn't it?"

Cedric laughed. "This might be fun."

Harry replied "Damn straight it will be. Now let's go destroy something else."

They started to walk off when Harry said "Hey do me a favor."

"Yeah"

"Just don't start quoting rules of magic or some such crap to me. And if you quote Hogwarts a History to me, I'll probably burn the whole maze down with you in it just to prove that book wrong."

"Don't worry; the Granger Bible is not on my list of preferred reading."

They rounded the next corner and heard a human scream. As they hurried through the maze, they ran headlong into one of Hagrid's blast ended skrewts. Harry said "I haven't been in class since November. Did anyone ever figure out how to deal with these things?"

"Yeah, stay the hell away from them. If the claws don't get you then that fiery fart will. You know, when this is over, I'm going to turn that bastard in for ever creating something like this. It has to be illegal."

Harry said "I've got an idea. Get its attention."

"Oh, I see, you're gonna feed me to the damn thing and then run past. I thought we were better than that."

"Just trust me or I'll have Dobby come in here and change you vest back."

"Dick"

"Not my thing but hopefully it's your sister's."

"I'm gonna tell her you said that."

"Whatever now draw its attention."

"Who are you?"

"Oh I didn't tell you? When Megan had me meditating in the tent, I thought about all that had been said about me and why I didn't have friends and I realized that I never encouraged anyone with me being just as self centered as I accused Sirius of being so I left the broody and serious Harry at the entrance of the maze. You're looking at the new and improved Marauder Harry who will make sarcastic and witty remarks while trying to create as much havoc as I can. The only thing I care about is seeing Megan again in that that thong I had the pleasure of seeing this morning."

"That's my sister you're talking about."

"Yep, now go on."

Cedric started and then stopped. He turned and said "I can't believe you'd say that about the girl you said you wanted to marry. I thought you loved and respected her."

Harry gave him a glare. "I do love her with my whole heart. As far as respect, I respected that arse so much this morning that I stood at attention and saluted it."

"Are you going to be like this all the time from now on?"

"Of course not, I know there's a time and place for this."

"And you think now is a good time for this?"

"Well now is better than if we had been in the tent talking about it. I'd hate to think what her parents would think of me if I'd said that then. Now, are you going to distract that skrewt or are you going to continue to talk about this until that damn thing comes over and farts on us."

Cedric moved away and the skrewt turned with him. Harry thought to himself 'Mum better have been right…um…Godric's sword, will you come here…please?'

A moment later, the sword appeared in his hand and he leapt into action. The right side claw was quickly lopped off and the skrewt started making a screeching noise. Harry tossed the sword in the air at Cedric who grabbed it and took the other claw off. The skrewt reacted by turning to its other mode of defense and turned its back to them. They could both see the creature was building up towards letting loose a fiery fart and Harry did the only thing he could think of. He fired an overpowered suturing spell that Poppy had taught him and sewed the orifice closed. The resulting fiery explosion scattered skrewt guts three rows over and gave the spectators a great show.

Kathleen turned to her daughter and said "Yes, you are definitely going on the potion tonight."
